Answer
Study question (generated from the text)
Gandusha is holding a liquid in the mouth, while kavala also involves holding and chewing dry drugs. The gargle liquid should fill half the mouth, because a full mouth cannot move the liquid about and so does not remove all the doshas.
Detailed answer
The liquid is held still until the medicine is enveloped in kapha and spat out when the eyes fill with water and the nose runs; it is repeated with fresh liquid until the doshas come out, head heaviness goes and hoarseness and other mouth diseases calm, and no more is held, since excess causes drying of the throat, thirst and other complications. Liquids of the alkali, sour, oil, ghee, urine and astringent groups are chosen according to the dosha.
